What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. In a small place like Fir Toll, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Window mastic in Fir Toll, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We are often asked to deal with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
In a village or hamlet like Fir Toll, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.

How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Fir Toll
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fir Toll can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What window mastic looks like in Fir Toll
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 3.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Fir Toll has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Pluckley Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
